Rural Belle & Three Heirs

He opened the video Liam had sent, which showed a group of guys in their underwear jogging around the bike track.

The camera then panned to Chloe and Zara, who were ogling the guys, with Chloe even giving them instructions, "Hey, you in the back, keep up... run faster... Come on!"

Seeing the video, Grant was furious. Chloe was ogling guys behind his back? She was out of control.

His face was dark and terrifying during the following meeting, and his rapidly changing expression made everyone in the room tense up.

What was Grant thinking? Was he about to start yelling again? Everyone in the meeting looked at each other nervously, afraid that the next outburst would land on their heads.

The female employee sitting next to Sophia noticed Grant's expression and leaned over to whisper in her ear, "Sophia, why's your guy so mad? Does he need some of your sweet kisses and hugs to calm down?"

Her words made Sophia feel uneasy.

The employees of the Martin Group had a misconception that she was Grant's woman. In reality, only she knew that she hadn't even touched Grant's finger, let alone kissed or hugged him.

To keep up the illusion, Sophia smiled ambiguously and said, "I'll calm him down when we get home after work."

Just as Sophia finished speaking, Grant suddenly stood up. He addressed everyone in the room, "Stick to your plans, everyone. Meeting's over."

With that, Grant grabbed his phone and stormed out.

Stanley was stunned to see him leave like that. This was the first time since Grant took charge of the Martin Group that he had left a meeting in such anger. Though he was usually serious, he rarely lost control in public. What on earth happened? Who was so thoughtless and insensitive to provoke him to such an extent?

He didn't have time to think. As soon as Grant left, he immediately called

Michael. "Something's wrong. Grant stormed out of the meeting, and he looked like he was ready to kill someone."

"What happened? Who pissed off Grant? Do I need to call in some backup?" Michael, who was on set, was taken aback by Stanley's call. What was Grant planning? Was he going to kill Chloe?

That couldn't happen. The Davis Family and the Martin Family were supposed to be united through marriage. If Grant dared to lay a hand on Chloe, he would be done for.

Of course, knowing Chloe's temper, she wouldn't take a beating quietly. They would definitely end up fighting.

Michael couldn't sit still. He asked the director, "Hey, do I have any more scenes today?"

The director replied, "You have three more."

Michael started taking off his costume and said urgently, "I can't shoot anymore today. I have an emergency to deal with."

"Michael, what could be more important than our shoot?" The director was exasperated. The crew were all in place. If the lead actor left, it would cost a lot of money.

Michael explained as he walked, "It's a life-and-death situation. I'll be back soon. You can shoot other scenes in the meantime."

With that, Michael got into his car, ready to leave. As he was about to start the engine, he rolled down the window and said to the director, "I'll cover all the expenses for today... Sorry, Director."

Meanwhile, at the racetrack, Zara and Chloe were enjoying the sight of handsome men running naked. Tony even brought them two more cups of coffee.

The two women sipped their drinks, watched the men on the track, and made

occasional comments, clearly having a great time.

"Look at him, although he has a good physique, the way he's streaking is a bit funny." Chloe commented with a laugh.

"Yeah, he does have a bit of an entertaining spirit." Zara nodded in agreement.

"Chloe, they've almost finished three laps. Should we call it a day?" Zara asked, noticing the murderous look in Liam's eyes and feeling a bit scared. She tried to reason with Chloe.

Chloe was adamant. "No way. They have to finish three laps. A bet's a bet. I've already been lenient by only making them run three laps. I need to show them that bullying our Tony comes with consequences."

Chloe's determination to avenge Tony moved him deeply. He chimed in, "Yes, Zara, Chloe is doing this for me. They have to finish three laps."noveldrama

With that, he magically produced two large apples from his pocket and handed them to Chloe and Zara. His service was impeccable.

Chloe munched on her apple, sipped her coffee, and watched the handsome men run. She was having the time of her life. But just as she was getting carried away, a large hand grabbed her neck from behind.

The sudden grip on her neck made Chloe instinctively turn her head. When she saw who the hand belonged to, her coffee and apple fell to the ground with a thud. Her eyes widened in shock, as if she had seen a ghost.

Zara and Tony, standing next to her, were also stunned by the newcomer's presence. Chloe forced a smile and tried to talk to the furious man in front of her, "Grant, what are you doing here?"

Grant's face was cold as he glared at Chloe. He spoke with a biting tone, "What am I doing here? If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known you were having such a good time. I let you stay home to recover from your injury, not watching men run naked. Chloe, you have some nerve."

Chloe stammered, trying to explain, "Grant, it's not what it looks like. Actually, it's..."
